Interpretation:
Amine and alcohol present in scopolamine has to be classified as primary, secondary or tertiary.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohols are compounds that contain hydroxyl group attached to the carbon atom. Primary alcohol is the one that has hydroxyl group bonded to the carbon atom that contains two hydrogen atoms. Secondary alcohol is the one that has hydroxyl group bonded to carbon atom that contains only one hydrogen atom. Tertiary alcohol is the one that has hydroxyl group bonded to carbon atom that does not have any hydrogen atom.

- What ammonium salt is formed when each amine is treated with HCl? Draw the structure of the resulting salt.arrow_forwardIn the 1880's, Acetanilide, sold under the name Antifebrin, was widely used as a pain reliever and fever reducer. However, it had many adverse side effects, including cyanosis as a result of methemoglobinemia. The toxic side effects were the result of a small portion of acetanilide being hydrolyzed to aniline. Acetanilide was discontinued and replaced with phenacetin. Later studies show that both acetanilide and phenacetin are metabolized to acetaminophen. This metabolite, which we know as Tylenol, is responsible for the analgesic and antipyretic properties.
